'How do you get mortal harmonyout of a stone box into the moving air?With ash and ink, and sing a lyric air with passion.'"Proof..." asks and answers this question in 27 short poems as only poetry can. It is an account in the simplest, declarative language of the wren's song, the life in transit of the refugee, mortality, the poet's task, the fall of Constantinople, the Manchester Insurrection and the forgotten books. "Proof..." brims with the temerity to suggest that all these lives, all these events, matter, that they are all connected and that poetry is the medium of this vision. 'And it is throughthis hole in the night that the wren sings.'--Kelvin Corcoran

Dawn Songs consists of three essays on music. A short one on Derek Bailey as heard in 1970; a moderate-size one on surviving west gallery choral pieces performed in pubs of the Sheffield Moorlands area at Christmas, called `Mass Lyric'; and `Dawn Songs' itself, which concerns a genre of Transylvanian village music and forms the bulk of the book.

Due North is a poem in twelve chapters concerned with human movement northwards or out in the quest for work, subsistence, settlement and gratification, and in danger of getting trapped in various enclosures, including thought-traps.

The Dance at Mociu brings together some thirty stories of Transylvania: not stories in the conventional sense, they range from meditation to epiphany, from observation to recordings of a world that seems threatened - the world of 'Old Europe', a Central Europe whose populations found themselves changing nationalities all too often in the 20th C.

The Derbyshire Poems brings back into print two important earlier collections (from the 1970s and 1980s) by Peter Riley, Lines on the Liver and Tracks and Mineshafts, together with the explanatory essays that were originally issued alongside the latter volume, and an uncollected sequence from the same period.

Presents a set of 105 prose-poems derived from four sojourns in Greece, mostly in the vicinity of Argos and thus at the hub of early Greek power.

Brings together a number of scattered poems and prose-poems. A companion to "The Llyn Writings", this book also contains works such as the "Alstonefield Part VI", Carpathian poems relating to The Dance at Mociu, and experimental poems such as "Small Square Plots" and "Floating Verses".

A collection of all Peter Riley's writings that have resulted from annual visits to the Llyn Peninsula in North Wales between 1977 and 1998 - ordinary family holidays in a coastal caravan, but taking the notion of pilgrimage from that terrain into the possibilities and difficulties of a modern sense of ultimate purpose.
